Chapter 244: Murong Zhiqing's efforts
"I also heard that because there is a waiting master named Jiang Chao there, he can thunder the law, and he can descend from the sky, and those bandits were easily exterminated by him. The people in the mountain villages live and work in peace and contentment. ”
"If the general said that place, we really yearn for it, but we don't know if it's true or not, and they don't know if they will take us in!"
In the end, there was a bitter look in the eyes of all the people.
They yearn for that place, and in recent times, there have been rumors of mountain villages almost everywhere. The people there live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing.
And all this, I heard that it was the waiting master named Jiang Chao who made everyone live a good life.
Even if there are bandits all over the world, the people are displaced, and the people are struggling to make a living, reliable mountain villages are like paradises.
Moreover, I heard that because of Jiang Chao's prestige, no bandit army in Ningzhou Mansion dared to go over. This also makes Ningzhou Mansion the safest place in the entire Dazhao.
As soon as the Khitan army came, the first thing everyone thought of was to go to the mountain village, but unfortunately, it was a legend after all, and the mountains were high and the roads were far away, so it was a question whether they could get there.
"Yes, they will definitely take you in, because I am the Jiang Chao you say. I assure you in my own name that as long as you go to the mountain village, say that I let you go, and they will definitely let you stay. ”
Jiang Chao looked at the crowd of people.
With his words, all the people immediately looked at Jiang Chao, and their eyes were full of joy.
"You are really Jiang Houye! I heard someone say before that Jiang Houye has come to fight against the Khitan dog for the sake of us people, and it turned out to be true. So we have salvation! ”
Among them, the faces of the people were happy.
With his voice, the faces of the surrounding people all swelled with joy. There was also hope in his eyes.
When Jiang Chao heard this, he looked back at Song Xiaoya who was following beside him.
Song Xiaoya looked at Shangjiang Chao and hurriedly stuck out her tongue. She smiled at Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao was still thinking about how these people could know about him and the affairs of the backing village, but now it seems that all this should be related to the intelligence officers he released.
In the past, he trained a lot of intelligence officers to collect intelligence in the mountain village, and even gave these people funds to develop relevant personnel.
And this intelligence organization could only be regarded as a prototype at that time, and he handed it all over to Song Xiaoya to preside over.
Now it seems that Song Xiaoya should have told the story of the mountain village. Even the news of his own fight against the Khitan tribe was also spread.
Song Xiaoya should want to create public opinion, and by the way, let him establish prestige among the people. Jiang Chao forgot about this.
"Childe, this matter is not my idea, I am just responsible for the implementation, everything is arranged by Sister Zhiqing. She was afraid that her son would be persecuted, so she made some efforts first, and when the time came, even if the emperor wanted to be unfavorable to you, she would have to consider the public opinion. ”
Song Xiaoya whispered in Jiang Chao's ear, she didn't let those refugees hear.
When Jiang Chao heard this, Murong Zhiqing's figure appeared in front of him. She is worthy of being a woman with a delicate heart, and she can even think of creating public opinion.
If he hadn't met these refugees just now, he wouldn't have known that Murong Zhiqing was already working hard for his safety.
If he really let the direction of public opinion develop towards him, his own prestige will reach a certain level, and even the emperor will not dare to move him lightly.
Jiang Chao's heart was full of gratitude to Murong Zhiqing.
"Everyone, next, the big battle is about to begin, you better leave first, if you want to go to the mountain village, go as soon as possible! Someone will arrange for you. ”
Jiang Chao said to the refugees. Now that Murong Zhiqing is ready, Jiang Chao will follow Murong Zhiqing's wishes.
Besides, his development also needs manpower, and it would be better if he could get more manpower.
Hearing Jiang Chao's words, the faces of the people were full of joy and hope for the future.
Jiang Chao found a few relatively honest and reliable people and asked them to take the children who had lost their parents.
Whether they can get to the backer village or not depends on themselves.
With these refugees going, coupled with Murong Zhiqing using the intelligence network he founded to spread the news, both in terms of manpower and public opinion, it is a good thing for him.
After sending those refugees away, Jiang Chao had already come to Dongxingguan.
From the mouth of the refugees, he knew that Dongxingguan had been occupied by the Khitan army, and the Khitan army occupying Dongxingguan numbered about 8,000 people.
At this time, Jiang Chao's army led by only 5,000 people, he had never fought against the Khitan army, and he did not know how powerful the Khitan army was.
This trip to break through the pass is a bit risky, but if you don't capture the Dongxing Pass, once the Khitan army passes the Dongxing Pass, Anxi Mansion will be completely exposed to the Khitan army.
Even if there are 30,000 defenders in Anxi Prefecture, and there may be military horses from other continents coming to help, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the Khitan army.
And Zheng Shimin's 130,000 border army, I don't know why, has been following the Khitan army, since the border pass was lost, Zheng Shimin has led the border army to chase the Khitan army all the way.
This is the information that the emperor and the others have obtained, but Jiang Chao knows that no matter how bad the border army is, he is afraid that it should have caught up with the Khitan army a long time ago.
After all, the Khitan army didn't know how many towns they had looted along the way, even if most of these towns had fallen from the wind. But there should be a lot of delay.
The border army has not been able to catch up, it is impossible, or Zheng Shimin has an agreement with the Khitan army, and he lets the Khitan army commander drive straight in.
Either the border army was cowardly and did not dare to engage the Khitan army. The so-called pursuit of the Khitan army is just a show, and I don't want to take responsibility after defeat.
However, Jiang Chao knew that this should be a tacit understanding between Zheng Shimin and the Khitan army, and he was probably just waiting for Jiang Chao to come. Then, find another opportunity to strike the river tide.
Therefore, Jiang Chao must wipe out the Khitan army as quickly as possible before Zheng Shimin reacts. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.
At any time, the Khitan army and Zheng Shimin's border army may make dumplings, even if he has 20,000 soldiers with good combat power, it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape.
Jiang Chao didn't know that there were 120,000 troops of the Four Continents behind him, which were coming towards him, and these Great Zhao troops were still stabbing him in the back when he was fighting against foreign tribes.
Just when Jiang Chao assigned tasks, arranged tactics, and prepared to capture Dongxing Pass, news also came from the subordinate army guarding in three directions.
There are 120,000 Great Zhao troops, and they are coming in their direction.
